I need some knowledge on the classics!

OK guys,
I'm doing some research b/c it's makes me happy on the classic fords (merc too) Mustang, Torino, Fairlane, cougar, Comets, Mavericks...mostly the first 4. So if i could get some help i would appreciate it greatly. this is for the V8 cars (i don't know if the l6 cars will be the same)

Here is the info i need
(67-72)
Wheel base
car width
rear ends
*engine bay width
*engine bay length
*curb weights

*= most important and the other is just icing on the cake

Thanks a lot guys,
Asa

What engine do you have that you want to install in one of these bodies? Bring your measuring tape out and measure some of these I have here. kennyg

the 240z was gonna be hella cash that i really don't have
the turbo 2.3l blue stang is in progress...im up to removing the 302
the 351 mustang got crushed before i could get back with the cash for it
the v10...i was outta my freakin mind and over zealous
the 302 from ralph is apart and mostly cleaned up, i need new bearings and then it'll go back together with a set of ported E7's and an e303 camshaft, and once i get the 2.3 T out of the merkur i'll be trading that body in for a mustang body and dropping it in there
